Here's a last minute reminder that tomorrow night at 6 p.m. at the Yorba Linda Public Library, 4852 Lakeview Avenue, just north of Yorba Linda Boulevard, a presentation will be given on some history of the La Vida and Carbon Canyon mineral springs resorts.
La Vida was by far the better known of the two and operated on the Brea portion of Carbon Canyon near today's Olinda Village community for some seven decades between the 1910s and 1980s, including many years in the production of mineral water of many flavors promising myriad health benefits, while the much lesser-known Carbon Canyon resort ran during the 1930s and 1940s just over the Orange/San Bernardino counties line in the little hamlet of Sleepy Hollow.
In addition to the talk, dozens of artifacts, including postcards, bottles, bottle openers, an ashtray, a motel room key, a bottle crate and many photographs, will be brought for display, as well. So, if you've missed prior presentations for the Chino Hills and Orange County historical societies, considering joining us tomorrow might (rain showers and all).
